UGT3A1
Description
The UGT3A1 (UDP glycosyltransferase family 3 member A1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.
UGT3A1 is a member of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) family of enzymes that play a critical role in detoxification and elimination of harmful substances from the body. These enzymes attach glucuronic acid to lipophilic (fat-soluble) compounds, making them more water-soluble and easier to excrete. UGT3A1 contributes to the detoxification of a wide range of drugs, hormones, bilirubin, and other potentially toxic compounds.
UGT3A1 is also known as -.
